50/50.- Umbria, Assisi, Minerva's Temple

At the Piazza del Comune, the site of the ancient Roman Forum, an ancient Roman temple dedicated to the goddess Minerva was turned into a Christian church ; but the temple’s portico with its six Corinthian columns has come to us almost unscathed.

This is where our visit to Umbria ends. Of course a virtual visit is no substitute for the real thing, and all I can hope is that my pictures will encourage you to go and visit the region someday.
